But there is such a thing as collective debt.
There isn't, actually. According to tort law, only a person culpable of inflicting pain and suffering is responsible for the damages.
So all debts are forgotten when an estate is settled? If a business changes all it's personnel, that doesn't make all the businesses debt disappear. The business still exists, so the debt still exists. Our country which still owes the debt still exists. It still owes the debt. It probably won't take the form of a cash dispersal, but as a country, we have an obligation to clean up some of the mess that was made in the past.
You're not talking about a monetary debt. You're talking compensation for pain and suffering. That isn't estate law, that's tort law.
More than 600,000 Americans died correcting the mistake that was slavery ... debt paid, with interest.
